We have a new problem today and I don't know what to do

You know that we are from a Muslim society and there is polygamy
We have a person who has become a Christian and is married to three women. What do we do, knowing that he has children from the three women?
The second question
We also have a person who believes in the Lord Jesus as his wife
The man was absent for more than a year and a half, and everyone was informed that he was dead and had been killed. After that, another man married this person’s husband, and after four months, the first husband returned, and when he returned, his wife became separated from another person and she was also pregnant, so what should we do?

First, some practical advice. You just escaped from what appears to be a cult. Making quick judgments and decisions is probably not wise. That is certainly true in the matter of marriage and divorce. Second, there’s nothing in scripture that says you must divorce. You can read this article for further understanding.

For the second question you asked, it appears that something you have written was lost in translation, or written in error. You stated someone “believes in Jesus Christ as his wife”, is that correct?

And just after that you said “another man married this person’s husband”, which seems to be saying that a man married another man. Is this indeed what happened?

The second question is a Christian husband and wife
But the husband suffered from a psychological illness
He was violently attacked
Due to his psychological condition, he was absent for a year and a half
It was said that the mentally ill man died or was killed
The woman became a widow
So one of the believing brothers decided to marry her in order to support her and her children, and the marriage took place
After a few months, the first husband returned with a mental illness, and the woman also became pregnant by the new husband
what do we do

We are in a country that allows polygamy and also encourages polygamy
 
I think he is meaning spouse, not understanding the gendered nouns.

I agree with ALAYMAN not to do anything rash. For now all three wives are part of this man's house. He is done taking any more wives, though, no matter how cute the 'new' prospect may be .

Find a Christian mission there, and they can help you. You found this forum half a world away.

Yes, I thought of that when I was typing, but forgot to put that in, very wise counsel, there should not be any additional wives added to the family.

In one respect, this situation falls under the same general advice about polygamy that has already been given. But in a different way, you’ve introduced some information that needs further explanation. What do you mean when you say the one man has “mental illness”? Has he been clinically diagnosed by a professional, medical person, psychiatrist, etc.? Is he institutionalized because of this illness?

He does not remember his wife or children. He has become like a child and does not know what to do

He is saying that your problem is extremely difficult, and that he doesn’t feel that he can help. And I agree, it is a very complex situation that requires very wise counsel from people that probably know your situation and details more than we do.

The fact that the former husband, who is mentally ill is like a child, should make the situation more solvable though. if he indeed has a child like intelligence and mental capacity, then there is no functional marriage that should get in the way of the existing marriage.

I am not a doctor. That label that you see in my profile was put there by the forum administrator in somewhat of a humorous or facetious fashion because I have so many posts attributed under my account.
